Up in the Air is the newest film from Juno and Thank You for Smoking director Jason Reitman who has a unique ability to give a glimpse into a section of life in an entertaining and insightful way. Up in the Air stars the ever popular George Clooney and his charm is perfect for the role of a traveling mercenary of the corporate world of downsizing. A great telling of the classic coming to grips with age and mortality story in a new to me setting. The pairing of Clooney with Vera Farmiga worked perfectly, they seemed to be on equal footing of charm and sex appeal. It is hard to catagerize this film; not a laugh out loud comedy nor a rom-com or straight up comedy, it seemed to be more of a slice of life. Well done and a real pleaser. I will look forward to more of Jason Reitman's work, he seems to understand how to make an entertaining film.
